In part one of the book, Siddhartha, you learn what the book is going to be about. At first, Siddhartha is a Brahmin's Son. He is brought up to always obey his parents. One of his friends name is Govinda. They both decide that they want to follow the Samanas. At first Siddhartha's father doesn't agree, but he finally gives in. They go to live with the Samanas and learn their way of life. Siddhartha sees that everything he is being taught he could have learned elsewhere. He decides to learn about Buhdism.
